If I post an advert in the shared special offers forum can I post a diffrent service in the related offers and requests forum? or do I have to wait 5 days... :confused:

It would seem like the Advertising Forums are the Advertising Forums and an ad is an ad.

The forum will stop you from posting more than you should. You may post a shared hosting ad and a dedicated ad at the same time, the point was to prevent one user from posting too much in any one forum. You may not post the same offer in more than one forum.

and for everyone else reading this thread....

...it is one offer per forum per company (not per user)

that's something that i've wondered also...here's the exact quote from the rules

A maximum of one account per person, regardless of how many companies you represent. Also if your company is represented by more than one person only one ad per 5 days may be posted in the advertising forums regarding your companies, sub-companies or associated companies.

the term associated and "sub" can be taken in many different ways, therefore up to many different interpretations.

id prefer the rules be one ad per person and company per forum per 5 days...

Chicken/xtstrike? care to clear this up?

I take it to be one ad per 5 days; period. None of that, let's see if we can get around it by having multiple companies and multiple user names crap.

Isn't multiple user names against the rules too?

It is difficult to judge for a mod who have multiple user names.

One ad per 5 days period. Doesn't matter how many companies you own (or are associated with) or how many reps are on the forum from the same company (or associated companies). One ad per 5 days.
